Poker

[flammableBen]

fuck yeah. I like the fuzy edges

[sonic youth]

Ive lost all interest in Poker

sometimes i think you're more of a teenager than me

  why?

you're dafter, nearly as lazy, a big softie indie kid and you go through phases of liking stuff and not being arsed with sttuff

[flammableBen]

Fuck you SY and yeovil. I'm lazier and softer than either of you.

Yey got to the make my money back point on the poker

I've finished the night on $27. Calling it a night with the poker, going to play football manager and drink my mum's booze.

I just played a cheap quick tourney and finshed a few quid up. don't trust my self with the cash games again yet though. Especially whilst a bit pissed - it's a recipe for disaster. I'm still on some freeroll money I got on titan student poker. won 5$. on just under £20 at the moment, although I was on £40 which isn't bad from some student freeroll winnings.

[Dazzza]

Must admit I was inspired to go and play the past couple of nights after reading this

Up the grand total of $32

Going to build up a bit of a bankroll again as I'd cashed it all in.  Noticed the standard especially on Ladbrokes is definately improving, lot of handy players about on the lower stake tables.  

Only plus point is most are easier to read than a book so the long haul usually gets them when the concentration and frsutration slips in.

I'm gonna play a (hopefully not too) quick cheap tourney I think. could do with some alcohol to ease the boredom of the lame hands - although some tourneys with only six on a table make the hands a bit better (which is what I'm gonna do. - think I could have worded that a bit better).

Think there might be some gin in the fridge, although I've been doing that a fair bit and not sure my lovely mum will be happy if I've finished it off. Meh, fuck it. I'll put the empty bottle back in and fill it up with water.

After some nasty bad beats last week with AA, KK and QQ all showing big losses I got much better luck today and I'm up $75.

Got myself to 56th in the ladbrokes weekly leaderboard. http://www.ladbrokespoker.com/community/tournaments/leagues/cash/search/?alias=benwahballs

Cheers to Dazzza for recommending Ladbrokes 'cos I have found it a good site so far and the $125 sign up bonus was very nice too.

What limits do you play at by the way?

[yeo]

$125 sign up bonus?

[Dazzza]

Nice one Ben.

Never knew you could search the leader board like that. I'm 143rd at the moment.  

I had been playing a lot of the MTT's $5 turbos up to the $20 (no rebuy) games but not had much luck at all in the past few months.  Had a few finishes but really only covered entry costs.

Normally prefer the 15/30 and may work my way up to the 25/50 if things go well but been pottering around the beginners tables just to get back in the swing of things this week.

Only downside to Laddies is the lack of Yanks and hordes of Scandinavians who all seem to play a tight regimented game.

[Ben Wah Balls]

Yeah it is $125. http://poker.ladbrokes.com/promotions/index.php?#free_poker_chips

You have to deposit $100 and play a lot of hands to get the full amount but they give you $25 just for submitting a profile and they give you the bonus $10 at a time. Actually I think you can even get another $25 as well as that if I refer you.

True about the Scandinavians Dazzza, have to be careful with some of them. Nice feature the leaderboard, if you see the same player near the top most weeks then you know you don't want them on your table.
